STMicroelectronics has enlarged its portfolio of ultra-low-capacitance protection ICs for the high-definition video market. The new device allows a High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), to operate at full HDMI speed of 1.65 Gbit/s and even up to 3.2 Gbit/s, with full 15kV contact and air Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection. Offering the best bandwidth available on the market (greater than 5GHz), the new HDMIULC6-4SC6 is a monolithic...

knitter-switch has announced the introduction of the its TSS 309 surface mounted push-button tact switch. At only 2.5mm high and with a space-saving footprint of 3.8 x 6.0mm the TSS 309 is 50% smaller than comparable products.

Arrow is now offering NKK Nikkai’s UB2 series of low-profile, illuminated pushbutton switches, with enhanced features and expanded aesthetic and functional options. These provide engineers with an exceptional choice to replace standard, outdated, split-legend caps.

Passives specialist AVX is offering its high TLJ series of capacitors – known for its high capacitance versus voltage ratio – in a yet smaller volume, allowing for increased sound quality at miniature dimensions in smaller handheld devices.

Ohmite’s new G Series capacitor discharge and symmetry resistor range has been specially designed to handle the requirements of repetitive pulse loading, the G Series provides high power dissipation up to 13W at 25°C.

Now available from TTI Europe is the SQ series of high-performance, high-Q ceramic capacitors from AVX. Available in P90, NP0 and X7R dielectrics, the SQ series complements the well-established AQ series, introducing an increased level of current handling and lower ESR. They are suited to applications in the 10 MHz to 4.2 GHz frequency range, from radio broadcasting through to microwave communications.

Semtech Corp has announced three new, single-line versions of its uClamp protection products designed for portable devices with low voltage levels, starting at 3.3V. The uClamp3301P is designed to protect 3.3V lines, the uClamp0501P is designed to protect 5V lines, and the uClamp1201P is designed to protect 12V lines.

AVX has just introduced its SQCF microwave capacitor that delivers the lowest Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) in a 0805 case size on the market. SQCF microwave capacitors present an ESR down to 50mOhms at 1GHz and a quality factor (Q) greater than 10,000 at 1MHz. Devices deliver high performance and reliability for base station infrastructure requiring high Q and power handling capability.

PEPI’s JS series thermal cut-outs combine the benefits of both automatic and manual reset cut-outs, without the disadvantages of either. By incorporating an internal resistor, the self-holding PEPI JS is the same size as the auto-resetting PEPI J, but with a manual-reset function.

Available from specialist distributor Switchtec, the latest Hongfa relay catalogue showcases the complete range of relays from this high quality manufacturer. Literally packed with information, the catalogue is a great help for designers, specifiers and buyers who need to quickly and easily access information about any relay in the vast Hongfa range.
